9921 Blue Star Realco LLC, Petitioner 

v. 

Township Of South Haven, Respondent. 

MTT Docket No. 26-002633 

RESPONDENT RESPONSE TO ORDER OF DEFAULT 

AND NOTICE OF CORRECT SERVICE ADDRESS 

Respondent, Township Of South Haven, submits this response to the Order of 

Default entered September 30, 2026, to explain the service address error and 

identify the correct address for future service. 

1. Petitioner's proof of service states that the petition was mailed on August 14, 

2026, to the South Haven Township assessor and clerk at 539 Phoenix Street, 

South Haven, Michigan 49090. A copy of that proof of service is attached as 

Exhibit A. 

2. The address of 539 Phoenix Street is the address of the City of South Haven, a 

separate municipal entity. It is not the address of South Haven Township. Mailing 

documents to the City address did not direct those documents to the Township 

offices. 

3. The failure to timely answer resulted from this City/Township address mix-up. 

Respondent brings the discrepancy to the Tribunal's attention promptly after 

learning of the default and intends to defend this appeal on its merits. 

4. The correct Township mailing address is: 

South Haven Charter Township 

Attention Assessor and Clerk 

09761 Blue Star Memorial Highway 

South Haven, MI 49090 

Assessor email: Assessor@Southhaventwpmi.gov 

5. Respondent acknowledges that the Order requires an answer to be filed and 

served, with proof of service filed, within 14 days of entry. This response explains 

the address discrepancy and does not replace the required answer. Respondent 

requests that the Tribunal recognize the default as cured upon timely completion 

of those requirements and update its service records to reflect the correct 

Township address. 

Respectfully submitted,

Property Tax Consultants for 9921 Blue Star Realco LLC, 

v 

MTT Docket No. 

South Haven Township, 

PETITION 

Petitioner, 9921 Blue Star Realco LLC, through their agent, Property Tax Consultants, petitions this 

Tribunal as follows: 

1. 

Petitioner is 9921 Blue Star Realco LLC, whose principal office or address is 09921 Blue Star 

Hwy, South Haven, MI 49090. 

Respondent, South Haven Township, establishes levies and collects the property taxes on the 

subject property. 

The property identification is # 80-17-015-091-00, and the subject property address is 09921 

Blue Star Hwy, South Haven, MI 49090. The property is classified as commercial, real property. 

Petitioner’s Property is presently used for commercial. Petitioner believes that Petitioner’s 

Property was originally designed to be used for commercial. 

The property is located in Van Buren County and the school districts of South Haven Public and 

the Van Buren Intermediate School District and Lake Michigan College. 

This matter involves issues relating to the true cash and taxable values for the parcel referenced 

above for the 2026 tax year. 

For tax year 2026, Respondent’s Board of Review determined an assessed value of $618,800 a 

state equalized value of $618,800 and a taxable value of $618,800. 

Petitioner appealed at the 2026 March Board of Review and the requested relief was denied. 

The 2026 values set by the respondent are invalid and unlawful as they exceed the amount 

allowed by Michigan law and the Michigan Constitution and do not reflect the true cash value of 

the fee simple interest as of the applicable tax date. 

Petitioner contends the true cash value of the subject property is $612,500 which would yield a
